All of the original demo coopers were either PS/B or CR/W....our first cooper was going to be PS/B, but unsurprisingly I changed my mind and went for the CR/W instead....

Your not kidding. the one I looked at was the best part of £9k. It was a Y reg so about 2 years old. Did see a nice Mini 30 for a couple of grand, but it would have needed some TLC and a garage really

Familiarity breeds contempt.

I'm probably going to get either PS/B or PS/PS. Why? Because silver is the best looking cars on most cars - Audi TTs, Mercs, Beemers etc.

Yes it is "common", but there's a reason: it looks good in daylight, it looks good when dirty, it looks brilliant under sodium lighting, and it is neutral yet impressive.

LY - too look at me, me, me.
DS - popular because it was a MCS only colour.
CR - makes the car look like Noddys car.
IB - Gaining in popularity, few about in '01.
B - getting extremely popular - the new PS? Then you're gonna hate it again Mo. A bit gangsta with tints.


There is just one moon and one golden sun; And a smile mean friendship to ev'ryone; Through the mountains divide, and the oceans are wide; It's a small world after all.

Not so much with the pure silver on the MINI, but the Titanium silver on the BMW's looks white under some light....I'm just not convinced BMW do silver that well...

TBH BMW don't do any really good colours
Metalic black is the best but how difficult is that to do
All the colours are slightly either too dark, too dull or too bright.
...and yes that includes Estoril blue which is becoming popular as it's now avaible on the 330 Coupe Sport whatever. I know as my mates just gone and got one
I guess they do crappy colours to try and encourage you to spend the £1500 or whatever to go for BMW individual

MINI, RX8 and MX5 - Done those............. It's now TTime

Yeah estoril is supposed to be individual...but everyone has it esp. since they put it on the CS


There were three M3's all in estoril waiting when I picked mine up on March 1st....
I agree with you though...thats why we had the individual option of the EB...the standard colours were all rubbish...apart from carbon black
May be common but I still love it its winking at me now...

I agree. Those wheels are bling-bling-pimp-daddy-dealing-tastic. Whoever buys that MINI has to sell drugs by law.

Seems like you guys have to adjust your budget, you now need a decent suspension mod too, the new MCS is as comfy as a 1978 Oldsmobile
